Hey there,

It looks like the program "Actual Multiple Monitors" isn't working well with Vanguard. Could you try disabling that/removing it and letting me know if performance goes back to normal?

Hey I really don't know where to ask this, but has anyone else mentioned anything about having like 20-30 higher ping on NA since yesterday? I went from 30 to 55 ping and it's actually such a pain, everything else on my end seems fine so for whatever reason my connection to League is just strictly worse or something :(

Which isp and location?

Does using a VPN to NA fix it? Try a trial one. If this does fix it, there is some sort of filtering between the server location and your ISP.

EU East is based in Frankfurt, Germany. It'll still be a bit closer to be in NA servers.

I think the best way to test this would be to make a new account in EUNE and a new account in NA and see which is better ping.

Most of the ISPs in Alaska connect back to the US, not direct to Europe. You're probably best off on NA.

Reaper has been carrying me through my amateur work, lol. This is a ton of really cool info, thank you so much for taking the time out of your day to respond to me! I’m still in school but I do hope to one day work at Riot, because I’ve always admired how helpful all the devs are. I’ll be sure to try out all of this; again, thank you a ton.

Absolutely! You're pretty early, I found out about game audio even being a career option in my junior year of college :) I like to help game audio folks because we are a pretty small, tight-knit group in the games industry.

Also, if it helps, I'd like to plug my blog / website here for you to read, if you're interested! It goes into detail about how I got my job 4.5 years ago. https://danielkimaudio.com/blog/2019/11/18/how-i-got-my-job

Hi Kdan, do you have any tips for getting into sound design? I’ve dabbled a bit for some personal projects but I’ve always admired the League/LoR teams’ sound design; any key tips?

Hello Vixiara!
Here are some different tips depending on where you are in your journey as a sound designer.

If you're a complete new beginner to sound design, try downloading Reaper (you don't have to pay to use it). This is a great Digital Audio Workstation that I and many professional sound designers use at work day to day. There are lots of great tutorials on Reaper on YouTube that you can find.
Sound Design doesn't mean you have to record everything from scratch - although that's really cool if you can do that. But sometimes we don't have a lot of time to do so and that's where Sound Libraries come in.
However, they can get a little pricey, so to start, try downloading lots of free sounds from 'Royalty Free Sound Effects Archive: GameAudioGDC. Then, just grab some clips from any videogame trailers or cool gameplay footages, mute all the audio, and try your hand at placing sounds and making it sound cool.
You're also going to want to get your hands ...

u/DelBringo is this related to the network changes you're rolling out as you mentioned here? if so, could you share more details about it? I'm curious, cause my ISP's routing (or Riot's?) can vary from game to game, causing me to have a stable 37ms ping in the worst case, and 26ms in the best.

Yup, though ironically again, given that Zven is a support nowadays, C9 could have both. I was kinda disappointed when they went the Korean import route again despite their history of producing some of NA's best homegrown talent - including Sneaky 

Yup, I almost wanted to bring that up too, lmao. I’m sure a Sneaky/Zven bot lane would have been fire, but that might be relying a bit too much on hindsight for this particular discussion.

I remember a very different history than you.

I recall Sneaky Jensen and Smoothie being unprofessional and riled up the fanbase to overturn Reapered's decision to bench him. Jack initially supported his coach but eventually succumbed to the PR pressure and, ultimately, the fanbase is really the lifeblood of an org.

Sneaky did not deserve a job and I say this as someone who admired and remembered his 3:0 performance against AFS on Lucian.

If you wanna go tit-for-tat then Nisqy and Licorice didn’t deserve jobs either for disrespecting their teammates and threatening the owner?

A good way for them to miss world's for the first time in the orgs history. 

Ironically they make it to world's the year after - once they dropped licorice and Nisqy, but with Zven rather than Sneaky.

Yeah, and of course Zven is a quality player, very bright and intelligent too, but I mean… Sneaky had Zeyzal and Zven had prime Vulcan.

The problem was clearly roster construction, not Sneaky’s individual play. He was one year removed from sh*tting all over an LCK team in the World’s QF.

Boy I work American corporate, it’s a soulless existence but nobody at my company would ever think to give an ultimatum like that to our CEO and expect to get away with it.

getting kicked from a team isn't getting done dirty, plus zven very clearly ended up being a good choice

In a vacuum, no of course not. But with context, the situation was messy, one-sided, unprofessional, and handled without proper respect to Sneaky and his contributions to the organization as the franchise GOAT.

Acquiescing to the threatening demands of Licorice and Nisqy is pathetic (as were the demands themselves, as anyone who has ever been on a team will tell you).

if 2 players say he needs to go.. how is this jack doing him dirty...

Hm let’s see … maybe Jack could have told his first- and second-year player that roster decisions were not theirs to make? Especially when it’s a strong-armed threat to do what they say or they’ll quit? Have you never held a job in your life? Is that why you seem so obtuse to the concept of professionalism?

Sneaky had the opportunity to compete for his spot he turned it down.

Not true, since that implies the spot was up for grabs. It was not up for grabs, it was already given to Zven.

Sneaky would have had to “earn it back” (or Zven would have to lose it) which was, of course, impossible to do since Licorice and Nisqy had already told Jack that it was “him or them.”

Really odd too considering Jack has always been really good with getting rid of players and selling them either at their peak or just after it. It's almost the C9 way except for players like Sneaky and Blaber who are legacy players.

Nah C9 did Sneaky dirty too, believe it or not.

Hey there,

We've seen some specific program interactions potentially causing unintended FPS effects, and we're looking to gain more insight. If this is happening to you suddenly, would you be able to post your Vanguard logs to Player Support, and chat me with your Ticket #?

Well, you can currently, but you won't be able to in the future when Vanguard is actually enabled. The modal here just doesn't check for Secure Boot.

League won't require Secure Boot when Vanguard is enabled. That's why the modal doesn't check for it. :)

It's required on VAL but they're solving different problems for us, and Secure Boot is less critical to the problems we see Vanguard solving for League, so we don't require it.

TPM2.0 will need to be enabled though if you're running Windows 11.

League + Vanguard does not require Secure Boot. VALORANT does, but League doesn't need it, so we don't require it.

TPM2.0 does need to be enabled though if you're running Windows 11.
